[Hidden-tech] Slow Internet in Conway

[RA Cohen]

Are you sure there is no 4G LTE service anywhere on the property? It has 
been a savior to some of us in the hilltowns ...


You need to look very carefully - on top of structures, in corners, in 
places you wouldn't expect service. 4G is really useless for data unless 
on top of the tower, 4G LTE is quite useful, but $$$ ...


If the 4G LTE signal is weak or intermittent, optimizing it can be as 
much art as science - but worth the trouble! And I believe today there 
are amplifiers for the LTE frequencies.
